asterisk users - Dec 2007 - What is the status and future of chan_mobile

I have been looking forward for months to get chan_mobile working.  I am 
limited to using prepackaged Asterisk code, mostly Trixbox.

I have recently heard that chan_mobile is considered 'beta' and there is
no effort to move it into the main code of Asterisk.  Not even for 
Asterisk 1.6.

So what is the future for chan_mobile?  It is easy to make a very strong 
case for a cellular trunk.

I'm not sure where you heard that, but it is not true.  It is merely
segregated into asterisk-addons, due to the licensing on the library on which
it depends.

It's already in SVN, which will become asterisk-addons-1.6.
